Project 10073 Record Cards and Air Intelligence Information Report
AI-Generated Summary
Two separate sightings of unidentified objects at Edwards AFB on March 10, 1955, were investigated by the Air Force. Both incidents were officially concluded to be a flight of wild geese.
This document contains a series of Project 10073 record cards and an Air Intelligence Information Report detailing two separate sightings that occurred on March 10, 1955, at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The first sighting involved two grey, delta-wing type objects observed crossing the sky at an estimated speed of 3,000 MPH. One observer reported that one object took a highly erratic course, while the other appeared to maintain a straight line of flight. The objects were described as flying with the flat edge of the delta wing forward. This incident was associated with a Douglas 'Sky Ray' test. The second sighting, occurring shortly after, involved seven tear-shaped, dirty-white objects moving north in a 'V' formation at an estimated speed of 1,200 to 2,000 MPH and an altitude of over 30,000 feet. The observer noted that they would have mistaken the objects for birds if not for the reported speed and altitude. Both incidents were investigated by Flight 1-C. The final conclusion reached by the Air Intelligence Information Report, signed by 1st Lt. Calvin Hammond Jr. and approved by Colonel John L. White Jr., is that the objects were definitively identified as a flight of wild geese. The report includes supplementary investigative efforts and statements from the observers, though much of the specific witness testimony is obscured or redacted in the provided scans.
Observer stated he would have mistaken the objects for birds except for the speed (1200-2000 MPH) and altitude (over 30,000 ft).
